When the 13 founders of the American Psychiatric Association came
together in 1844, hospitals were small, and the administrative
aspects of a superinten dent's job were relatively minor compared
with their size and complexity today. Since the turn of the
century, administration-the art and the sci ence-has become a
specialty of great importance, particularly in big business and
government. Business recognizes fully that the success of
organizational endeavors depends to a great extent on the talents
and energies of top lead ers. As a result, industry spends huge
sums of money to train promising young executives and offers
generous salaries and benefits to entice them. Anyone who wants to
invest in a business first asks: "Who manages this organization,
and is this management competitive in today's marketplace?"
Although health is today a great industry, emphasis on the
executive role has lagged behind that in the general business
field. In mental health circles, the strong emphasis on one-to-one
therapy has delayed a full appreciation of the influence of
organization per se on patient care and treatment. Yet there 1 are
now many signs of change. The popularization of behavioral science
and the rise of social and community psychiatry have brought
organizational con siderations forward. We are increasingly
concerned with the human side of enterprise, with worker
satisfaction, group dynamics, and organizational morale. Other
flags have been unfurled."
